Thanksgiving & Dry Mouth: How You Can Enjoy Your Favorite Food-Holiday Again

Nov 21, 2018

If you suffer from Dry Mouth, how long has it been since you’ve actually enjoyed Thanksgiving? Two years... Five years... More?

While most people look forward to Thanksgiving and all of the food they will get to eat, Dry Mouth sufferers dread it.

What is Dry Mouth?

Dry Mouth occurs when the mouth isn’t producing enough saliva. Saliva is crucial to the digestive process because it breaks down the food in your mouth. If your mouth isn’t producing enough saliva, you have to make sure you’re eating foods that are easy to break down and digest without it.

Very Well Health suggests staying away from the following foods if you have Dry Mouth:

Crusty bread

Acidic foods

Salty foods

Spicy foods

Sugary food and drink

Dry snack food

Tough cuts of meat

Sugary foods are particularly off limits for those who suffer from Dry Mouth. Your saliva is what sweeps away sugar so it doesn’t rot into the teeth and gums and cause problems. Without saliva, sugary foods are more likely to settle in the mouth and cause tooth decay and other oral health issues.

Perhaps on the other 364 days of the year, avoiding sugar isn’t a problem for you. But on Thanksgiving staying away from sugar is difficult, especially when everyone else is taking part in the festivities. You may be tempted to avoid the holiday altogether or remove yourself from the dinner table just so you’re not tempted by all of the delicious food around you. After all, what is Thanksgiving without pumpkin or pecan pie?

What if this Thanksgiving you could have your pie and eat it to?
